Alpha Ever after - Jessica Sims

Connor's loved Savannah from the moment he laid eyes on her. She's his mate, no matter what she says. 

Savannah's hated the Anderson pack ever since they kidnapped her. That fateful week had big consequences, though, and now she's pregnant with Connor's twins. He's elated. She's...less enthusiastic. She wants the babies but him? Not so much. He's a bossy werewolf who thinks he can dictate what she does. She's a were-cougar who won't be pushed, especially not by a know-it-all wolf alpha. 

So why is it every time that she tries to move on, he's right there waiting for her? And why does she compare everyone else to a certain tall, dark wolf? Why does she crave Connor more than pickles and ice cream? 

My thoughts:

I have no idea how she does it, but this is like one of the 1% pnr that I can still read. She is just that good, but then I like all her books.

The Anderson pack is bad, but Connor is good and he has been in love with a cat forever. Savannah does not see him, silly Savannah, look at the hot wolf! But then the Andersons are assholes, trust me, assholes! As they kidnap her to get an exchange for a wolf.

And that is how Connor and Savannah meet again. Her a captive, him a guard...an angry guard. A guard that will protect her to death. Aww Connor, I do not mind you going all alpha, she really should be protected.

The drama, oh girl, you be stupid. I would have forgiven him. 

Awwww Connor, he watches and wants her, but wants her to choose. Awwww.

And yes we all know she will eventually get that he is the best mate for her, but the road there is fun to watch. He becomes a little less alpha when he understand that a cat can not be pushed, a cat will do whatever the f a cat wants ;)

Conclusion:

The best pnr you can read

Desperately seeking shapeshifter - Jessica Sims

Sarah Ward, the werewolf sister of Bathsheba from Beauty Dates the Beast, and co-owner of their paranormal online dating agency, Midnight Liaisons, is voluntarily traded to a wolf clan in exchange for a kidnapped female were-cougar. Fearful of what might happen to her while with the wolf clan, she and Ramsey, a were-bear who’s part of the were-cougar alliance, pretend to be engaged so he can stay with her for protection. The last thing either of them expect is for their pretend engagement to lead to a very real love affair….

My thoughts:

Wow this book really made me loathe werewolves, they are so off my list as hotties! They were mean, abusive, sexists, rapist assholes. In the corner with you wolves!

But ok there were 2 good wolves, one outsider and one known. Still the rest arghhhh. Poor Sarah. She was turned against her will, her ex beat her and held her down. So now she is scared of wolves. And who would not be when they are such asses!

Ramsey, awww, the big bad bear, who really is just a big kind cutie. He was so sweet with her and just wanted to protect her against those idiots.

Conclusion:

The book was so light and easy and I just breezed through it in an evening. Sweet, with some danger and just right.

Beauty Dates the Beast - Jessica Sims

WANTED

Single human female to join charming, wealthy, single male were-cougar for a night of romantic fun—and maybe more.

Me: The tall, sensuous, open-minded leader of my clan.

You: A deliciously curvy virgin who’s intimately familiar with what goes bump in the night. Must not be afraid of a little tail. Prefer a woman who’s open to exploring her animal nature. Interest in nighttime walks through the woods a plus.

My turn-ons include protecting you from the worst the supernatural world has to offer. Ready for an adventure? Give me a call.

Vampires and doppelgangers need not apply.

My thoughts:

I do like her Myles books, but why she did not keep that name who knows. It would have made it easier for me.

There was a softness and lightness to the book, it's how I like my PNR. We have Bathsheba who works for a dating agency, and Beau who is a shifter and wants to date her. The human! *gasps*

The drama is that her sister is a wolf shifter but is in hiding cos all wolves I saw here were asses. But they want her. Asses. Oh and something is after Batsheba, something else.

I understood Batsheeba and her urge to protect her sister, sure she could have told him things, but hey urge to protect was stronger. And Beau was at time a bit too alpha, I mean honestly. But then humans are weaker so he has a point there.

Conclusion:

All in all a light fun book.

Novellas: Capturing the Silken Thief, Single Wolf Female

**Jeannie Lin's novella introducing the pleasure quarter known as the North Hamlet, the setting of The Lotus Palace***

Tang Dynasty China, 823 A.D.

Musician Jia needs a valuable book of poems by a famous courtesan to buy her freedom...and she believes Luo Cheng has taken it. Her attempt to steal the book from him fails, but the tall and powerful scholar unexpectedly offers to help her quest! But when they finally find the book--and the arousing poems and artwork inside--Jia's longing for freedom is replaced with a new kind of desire for Cheng....

My thoughts:

It was good, but not as good as the book I read by her. That one was really good. I think the problem for me is that China is so fascinating, cos how any romances do I read set in China...that would be none at all. So I want to experience all of that. And with a longer running romance so it does not become all too sudden.

Still it was good cos it was still China during the 800s. Strange and new, I loved it.

She needs a book, he needs to study. They fall in lust. The end. Now I want to read those full lenght books.

Alice Savage needs an alpha – any alpha – to prevent her pack from being usurped by the lecherous Roscoe. As a last resort, she signs up for the Midnight Liaisons dating service, never expecting that she’d find the alpha she seeks. She certainly didn’t expect Jackson Wilder, a laid back, sexy-as-sin outsider who claims to be an alpha.

But Alice has a problem that most female wolf alphas don’t — she’s a virgin. And the female alpha of a wolf pack always belongs to a male alpha. Luckily for her, Jackson’s utterly gorgeous and willing to take things slow. But is he alpha enough to help her save her pack…or is he too easy-going to be the man she needs?

My thoughts:

This is a novella from the Midnight Liaisons series. Alice needs an alpha. She is a strong alpha herself but wolves needs two alphas and an idiot asshat is trying to get in on the action. So what else to do than to try a dating agency and find a cooler alpha.

In comes Jackson, sexy sweet Jackson. And tension grows as Alice both want him and wants to take it easy as she is a virgin.

It was a nice novella that never felt too short. I do like this series.

Review: Fire & Frost - Anthology

Speed Mating by Jessica Sims – Estrella may be going into heat, but she’s determined to remain in control. Just because she’s ovulating doesn’t mean she has to settle for just any man (or his beast). Her sexy alpha’s determined to find her a tiger to take care of her heat and father her child…but no one seems to look quite as good as the man in charge. Will giving in to her need for her alpha ruin her tenuous relationship with her clan or be a match made in heaven?

Conjuring Max by Carolyn Crane – The witches of the world ridiculed and rejected nerdy Veronica for trying to use newfangled computers to enhance old world spellcasting. Well, it’s 1984 now, and she’s perfected her spellcasting computer program. Hey, who needs friends when you can conjure virtually anything…or anybody? So when Veronica makes powerful new enemies, she conjures Max, a pitbull of a cop, to deal with the pesky hitmen who keep coming around. Maybe Veronica can finally get some peace and quiet so she can work on her computer. 

Wrecked by Meljean Brook – Elizabeth has spent the past five years running from her father; her father’s huntsman, Caius, has spent the past five years pursuing her. But when he finally catches up to her on an airship flying above Europe’s zombie-infested cities, Elizabeth discovers that Caius isn’t the only danger she has to fear—and now that he’s found her, Caius doesn’t intend to let her go…

My thoughts:

First up was the novella that turned out to be my fav. Speed Mating by Jessica Sims (but then I do love Jill Myles' work :)

The story was sexy, fun and worked so well just as a novella. But I of course want more by Jessica Sims now.

Conjuring Max was the story I did not really care for. It had it's moments, but it felt like it would have worked better as a book. I felt a bit confused at times.

The last story was a story of the Iron Seas, I miss that series now, even if nothing compared to book 1. Even if this novella was good, I also felt here that it would have worked better as a book. But then I am not a fan of novellas in the end.

What did I learn? I need to read Jessica Sims and I miss the Iron seas series. I mean stuff is happening, more please.
